BUFFALO AND BULLDOG.
PIucky Conduct of "a Cur WEtch
went Hunting OH the Plains.

The pack of dogs were in full CRY
after the stampeding herds OF below.
ing beasts as they. rushed and tore
along the column with their peculiar
rolling gait. But King, the bulldog,
singing out the immense wounded
leader, who had now slackened his
speed and was faltering in his course,
sprang at his throat with great courage,
faster ed upon him, and the battle
commenced, with the column as ST.
lent spectators. The bronzed troopers,
the great shaggy beasts laundering
by, the white-topped wagon train
closed up and halted, the fleeing
shadows and the almost limitless
stretch of surrounding prairie and
vast solitude. The bull went down
upon his knees, but SO great was his
strength that he quickly arose and
whirled the dog in great circles over
his head.
King had been taught never to let
go. The entire command now
watched with breathless attention the
apparently unequal struggle, expect
ing every moment to see the dog
crushed to death. Down went the
bull again ON his knees, this time not
from weakness, but to gore the dog
rising, he would stamp his feet in his
rage, then shaking him q while he
would resume swinging and swapping
him like whip cord through the air
The foam now bloody, fecked the
long, tawny beard of the bison bull.
His eyes, nearly concealed in the long
matted hair that covered his shaggy
head, flashed fire, and his rage knew
no bounds. The dog, which had
)mmenced the fight pure white,
now turned to Il spotted crimson from
blood which had flowed from the buf-
falo's wounds, and still his brute in
stincts, tenacious courage and train
ing led him to hold on. Had he let
go for moment the crazed bull would
have gored him to death before he
could have retreated.
The bull grew perceptibly weaker
he rose to his feet less often; he
could no longer throw the dog in cir
cles above his head. The blood
stained King to a more vivid red,
and begrimed with dirt he had lost
all semblance to his former self. All
were anXiously looking for the strug-
gle to end. Impotence was already
displayed upon the mems faces,
when suddenly General Mckenzie
shouted: "Kill the animal and put
him out of his misery!" TWAS a mer-
ciful command. Two men stepped
forward to the enormous beast, row
on his knees, and rocking to and fro,
the dog still holding on, and placing
their carbines behind the left shout
der, to reach a vital point, fired. He
gave one great CULVER, one last spas
modic rocking, and spread himself
upon the prairie, dead Not till then
did King let !-IOuting.

At THE CEMETERY.


Performed.
Arriving at Waldheim the people
quickly dismounted and the band led
the way to the cemetery, playing the
most mournful dirge of the day. High
on the shoulders of their one-time as
sociates were the black collins of the
Anarchists, each half hidden by its
display of flaming red. Inside the
cemetery the collins were laid upon a
rude platform, in front of what seemed
a rough stone hut
PERFECTLY wINDowLEss
And with only one small door. A
moment later person who followed
the collins to this point could not see
a foot in any direction, so thick had
the crowd become. The relatives of
tho dead men quickly gathered be-
side Captain Black on the platform.
The Captain delivered the first OF
THE FUNERAL CREATIONS,
which was principally devoted to the
OF the dead men. Others
followed in typical anarchy harangues.
Capt. Black stopped the last speaker.
1t was pitch dark and the people were
being wrought up to a high pitch by
the oratory and surroundings. The
collins were secured in the vault and
tine people made their way to the car
riages, and the lesson of the century
was at an end.

CHICAGO, November 13.-Much ex-
element was caused among the mem

morning by the report of an attempt
to assassinate the guard on duty on
the outside of the armory at Washing
ton boulevard and Curtis street. Priv
ate M. Bell was patrolling at the
north end of the building, and about
4 40 o'clock was startled by the report
of a gun and bullet whistling past
his ear. The shot apparently came
from the top OF coal shed in the rear
of Carpenter street. Immediately the
alarm was given, and the soldiers
turned out and overhauled the neigh
borhood, but without discovering any
one. Tue militia are at loss to ac-
count for the shooting unless it was
done by some Anarchist.

BASE BALL.
Exciting Contest at sacramento
The Pioneers Win.

The Pioneers Win.
SACRAMENTO, November Is. - To-
days game OF base ball between the
Pioneers and Atlas was interesting
and exciting. Both the pitchers,
Mule and Larrigan, were batted
freely. Mclaughlin and Carol did
great work behind the bat, but could
not hit the ball. Both sides failed to
score in the first inning, but in the
second Perrier scored a run for the
Pioneers by being given first on balls
and going to third on wild pitch and
scoring on Taylor's hit. The Atlas
did not score in the third, but Larri
gan made a run by two-bagger and
H. Smiths hit. There were no runs
in the fourth and in the fifth Meagher
made the first run for the Atlas by a
safe hit and hard to center by
O'Day. In the sixth inning Nick
Smith scored for the Pioneers and
when the Atlas time came, Powers
made safe bit and scored by New
bert making a hit for clean home
run. This tied the score. The Pho
neers failed to make run in the
seventh. In the eighth inning the
Pioneers won the game by what the
Atlas termed trick. In few Sec
onds, with Taylor and Hanley on
bases, Miller made a reckless pitch
and both scored. The Atlas made
another run in the ninth, but could
not overcome the lead of their oppo-
nents, who won by score of to &.
HAvERLY's VS.. G. & MS
SAN FRANcIsCo, November Is. -
Every seat on the grand-stands, private
boxes and bleaching boards had occu-
pants to-day, and several thousand
people who were unable to find seats
stood along the fences at either side to
witness the game between the G. q
M. and Haverly's. Much depended
upon its result-perhaps the cham
pionship of the State. Van Haltren,
who stitched for the G. & NJ showed
the effect of Anson's training in
his every move. He watch s
his bases better than before
his Eastern experience, his de-
livery is speedier, and his command
of the sphere has improved wonder
fully. Neither club scored in the
first inning, but five runs was the re-
cord of the Greenwood q Morans
after the second inning. Haverlys
scored two each in both the fourth
and fifth innings. In the sixth, one
more was placed to the credit of the
GREENWOOD & Morans, and in the sew
enth, one additional to the Haverlys.
As no runs were made in the eighth
and ninth innings, the GREENWOOD q
Morans were winners with a score OF
six to five.
